The Egyptian took possession of the match ball after the 4-3 thriller at Anfield on Saturday to open the 2020-21 campaign.
Salah secured the three points in the 88th minute of the contest from the penalty spot, having opened the scoring from 12 yards out before grabbing a second with a thunderous strike.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the final whistle, the No.11 said: "Without fans it's so tough – especially at Anfield, everybody knows that. But it's a good start for us.
"A tough team, they press high as well, so the intensity was really high. We had a good game.
"We shouldn't have conceded three but this is the game, we have to react for that and we did a good job.
"It's a tough team, to be fair. They had a great game. There's no fans but they play, they react really well and they scored three goals against us – that's huge.
"I'm happy about the result and we have to keep on improving and try not to concede as many goals."
